Text linguistics has moved beyond the study of the parts of a single sentence to investigate the overall structure of the text as a complete unit. A text is not simply the assemblage of a group of agreed-upon sentences, but rather the text is governed by a set of relations that ensure its coherence and allow the text to be understood and used. Some aspects of textual analysis, because a text lacking coherence cannot convey its own internal message to the reader. The coherence of textual elements is achieved by means that make it a coherent and interconnected unit, as defined by the researchers: orientation, modification, ellipsis linking and lexical coherence. In our research, we will focus on one of these tools, the ellipsis, in order to understand how the ellipsis process ensures text coherence. Accordingly, in this research, we will examine the phenomenon of ellipsis from the perspective of ancient and modern scholars and researchers and identify the areas of agreement and disagreement between them in defining this phenomenon, its types and conditions. And how is textual integrity achieved through ellipsis? We took examples from the Qur'an to illustrate this. In the end, we concluded that ellipsis is one of the factors that ensure textual coherence and is no less important than other methods because ellipsis does not take place unless there is sufficient evidence in the text to clearly convey the meaning. Ellipsis also contributes to creating coherence in the text through preceding or following reference that encourages the reader to look closely at all parts of the text, so that based on the evidence found in the text, one can find out what has been omissed from the text. This is the basis for carrying out the process of interpretation.
